NOTICE

This is an electronic duplicate of the Thunder Tiger Manual for the Raptor 50 V2 kit. In contrast

with the Raptor 30 manuals, a Raptor 50 manual has never been made available in electronic

form by Thunder Tiger. Therefore this manual was constructed partly by scanning in parts and by

manually creating the pages, and partly by copying and modifying the Raptor 30 V2 manual. I did

avery careful job in duplicating the manual, but of course I can not assume responsibility in case

of errors.

The duplicate has been kept as close as possible to the original manual, but at numerous places

errors and typos were corrected. At many places the English text was improved, as well as the

layout. Some part numbers have been corrected. A few sentences where correction would need

more than changing a few words were left unchanged.

The front page has been recreated in color, where the original manual is all black and white. A

colored front page is so much more inviting!

I hope you enjoy the use of this electronic manual.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 V2 helicopter. This model was

designed and engineered by the World-renowned Mr. Shgetada Taya. It combines elements of

his previously successful designs with today's advanced technologies.

Raptor 50: the best 50 class 3-D helicopter is now even better! The Raptor 50 V2 is the

cumulating result from all customers' feedback and tremendous research and development effort

by the Thunder Tiger design team. The Raptor 50 V2 is more rugged and has even better flying

performance than the original successful Raptor 50. The Raptor 50 V2 has the best power-to-

weight ratio of any 50 class helicopter on the market. Buckle your seatbelt and get ready for

incredibly fast accelerations and climb rate. With the new main rotor, 3-D pilots will enjoy

executing crisp maneuvers like Climbing Tic-Toc, Chaos, Death Spirals, and any radical

maneuver that pilots can dream of. Key new features include stronger mainframes, bigger fuel

tank, reinforced pitch control arm, new main rotor with 6 mm spindle and bigger radial and thrust

bearings, and a fresh new look body. The V2 includes a constant drive auto rotation gear for

doing aerobatics during autorotation. Beginners and advanced 3-D fliers will be very impressed

with the new Raptor 50 V2.

WARNING

This radio controlled helicopter is not a toy. It is a sophisticated piece of equipment and is

designed for hobby use only. If not properly assembled and operated, it is capable of causing

property damage and bodily harm to both the operator and/or spectators. Thunder Tiger and its

AMA INFORMATION

Operating a model helicopter requires a high degree of diligence and skill. If you are a newcomer

to the hobby, it is best to seek help and guidance from accomplished model helicopter pilots.

This will greatly speed up the learning process and have you flying successfully in a reasonable

time. We also would strongly urge you to join the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a

non-profit organization that provides its members with a liability insurance plan as well as

monthly magazine entitled Model Aviation. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require all pilots to hold

acurrent AMA sporting license prior to operation of their models at club fields. For further

information, contact the AMA at:

FLIGHT SAFETY CHECKLIST

1. Make sure both the transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged prior to operation the

helicopter.

2. Make sure all flight controls operate properly prior to flying.

3. Range check the radio before the first flight. The servos must operate properly with the

transmitter antenna collapsed at a range of at least 50 ft.(15 meters).

4. Check to make sure there is no radio interference on your radio channel before operating the

helicopter.

5. Use only the recommended engine fuel as specified by the engine manufacturer.

6. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are turned on before starting the engine.

7. The engine throttle must be in the idle position before starting the engine.

8. Model helicopter main and tail rotors operate at high RPM. Make sure nothing can come in

contact with the rotor blades during flight.

9. After starting the helicopter, maintain a safe distance during the flight.

10. Never operate the helicopter in rain or excessive wind conditions.

11. Always operate and fly your helicopter in a safe and responsible manner.

12. Never fly a model helicopter over other pilots, spectators or cars.

POST FLIGHT INSPECTION

1. Inspect the model thoroughly to insure no parts have come loose or become damaged during

the flight and landing. Replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws before flying again.

2. Pump out any remaining fuel from the fuel tank.

3. Wipe off excess oil and fuel from helicopter body and other exposed parts.

4. Lubricate all moving parts ensures smooth operation for the next time you fly.

5. Store model in a cool, dry place. Avoid storage in direct sunlight or near a source of heat.

Following these few, simple safety rules will allow you to enjoy the thrill of model helicopter flying

for many years to come.

SAFETY CHECKLIST

CAUTION: In the event the model has crashed, inspect the flybar, rotor shaft and the blade spindle to

make sure they are not bent at all. If any item is damaged, it must be replaced with a new part to ensure

safe operation. Do not glue any broken or damaged plastic part. Do not repair broken rotor blades. Always

inspect the following items immediately:

Engine starting shaft.

All the gears.

Main shaft, flybar and blade spindle.

Tail boom and support.

Vertical and horizontal fins.

Tail rotor shaft and control system.

Main and tail rotor blades.

Assembly Hint: Start from the bottom of the main Rotor Hub and work your way up to the flybar assembly. When

screwing on the flybar paddles to the flybar, stop when you can see the rod in the window of the paddle. Then, lay

the assembly on a flat surface and align the paddles so they are exactly parallel. Insert and tighten the set screws.

Attach the flybar control rod to the flybar control arm and use the Double Link to connect the mixing lever (short side)

to the Main rotor Pitch Housing.

slide in the washout assembly. Make sure the holes in the main shaft line up

with the holes in the main rotor head. Insert the socket screw and secure with

locknut. Attach the ball linkage rods to the long end of the mixing lever and

to the remaining inside linkage balls of the swash plate.

Assembly Tip: Work from left to right when assembling the parts. The tail pitch

control lever screws into the arm extending from the tail unit housing.

Thunder Tiger recognizes that there are many brands of radios and gyros to choose from. You are encouraged to

seek the advice of experienced helicopter pilots when making this decision.

Assembly Tip: Remove all the servo wheels prior to attaching the steel

linkage balls. Make sure all linkages are the correct length.

See Engine-Throttle Control Linkage on page 17.

Mount the Steel Link

Ball at 10.5mm(approx

7/16") from the center

of the servo horn for

the throttle arm.

19 Body/Canopy Assembly

Cut off the bubble from the body leaving the lip all the way

around. Neatness counts, so take your time. Next trim the

flange from the canopy leaving a clean edge. You can lightly

sand the edges to get it smooth and even. On the lip of the

opening in the body, mark six points for drilling holes to secure

the canopy: 1-in front, 1-in rear and 2 on each side.

Using double stick tape secure canopy to body. Take a very

sharp awl and make pilot holes through the canopy and body

lip. Make sure all holes line up. Remove double stick tape

and put in the self tapping screws. Install the body clip, decals,

and rubber grommets.

20 Main Rotor Assembly

Important-While Thunder Tiger takes great care to manufacture the most balanced blades available, no two rotor

blades are exactly the same. It is highly recommended that you purchase a blade balancer from your hobby dealer.

Follow the manufacturers instructions for balancing the blades and install on helicopter .

Mount the steel linkage ball to the outer hole on the metal throttle arm. At full throttle stick, the

carburetor hole should open completely. At low throttle and with the throttle trim all the way down,

the carburetor hole should close completely. Adjust the ATV function in your transmitter to achieve

the above requirement. Listen to the servo, it should not make any binding noise. Try keep the

throttle ATV between 90% and 110%. If your radio does not have ATV, then adjust the location

of the steel link ball on the throttle servo horn to get the correct throttle travel.
